On my X240 thinkpad running Ubuntu 18.04 when I suspend it will not come out until I touch a key. The mouse will not do it. My touchpad is disabled, but not the touchpoint.
Because of your question I just tried coming out of suspend using the touchpoint. Yikes! It restores the mouse but not the screen! Nor does typing. I had to shut the laptop then reopen to get back to normal. A similar strange behavior occurs with trying to restore using the mouse. The reason this behavior is new to me is that I normally would suspend then close the laptop. Suspending then restoring without closing is new. If I leave the laptop open without suspending after some time it will suspend on its own. Then to restore I press the power button, which is slowly flashing. On our desktop keypress seems to be required to come out of suspend. The mouse does not do it. How much of this relates to your situation I am unsure. Tomas implied that mouse activity did not keep the machine from entering suspend. I did not get that impression from your question, and my machines do not have that problem. If that is what happens with your machine then that is truly different. -Denis On Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 12:23 AM Tomas Kuchta <tomas.kuchta.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just for the reference - On my Ubuntu 18.04 as well as openSuse the > trackpad is disabled when I type.
